"Exile" is certainly the "Stonsiest" album and an incrdible ride, but cut-for-cut, either "Beggar's" or "Let It Bleed" is pretty tough to touch. "Some Girls" is right there as well.
I'll give "Beggar's" the slight edge--today.
As for tours, my copy of "Handsome Girls" suggests to me that, erratic as it may have been, '78 might have been the actual high point.
Tight little band, great covers and older tunes, and the Stones riding high on a boatload of great new material. Hot'n'raunchy.
"Let It Rock" as an opener? They ought to bring it back into the show to promote "Rarities."
